links for forgot password etc

bradmaunsell 07 Aug, 2013
I am building a horizontal menu with a login drop-down containing
Login
Logout
forgot username
forgot password
create new account

I have added a new field named "condo unit" to users table and have completed a Chronoform for Create New Account and works great.

Now I want to create a chronoform for each of the about OR add links for each of the above in an ARTICLE.

I don't find any Action/Joomla Function for any of the abovr except logout.

Can anybody refer me info for either creating forms for forgot password and forgot username?

OR, can anybody tell me the URL links for each of the above?

Thanks

Resolved - My drop down menu is complete and working great including my new Chronoforms "condo number" field included in the user table.

I found these on Google

(logout) index.php?option=com_user&view=login&task=logout
(password) index.php?option=com_users&view=reset
(username) index.php/component/users/?view=remind

Hi!

I need to do something similar but on a login/logout page. Did you use those logout, forgotten password, etc. in a straight up link or how did you implement it? I tried it in a link, but I get a 404 page not found error. Any details you can provide would be great. Thanks!

Fixed.

The reset password and forgotten user name work great. The logout function was not working. I had "com_user" instead of "com_users" in the link. It works great now. Thank you very much!

Update: is it possible to redirect users (after a logout or password reset) to my custom login page instead of the stock Joomla! page? If yes (I assume it is yes - I just don't know how), then how. Anybody who can help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hi Erik,

Please see this FAQ - I think it should work to replace any call to the Login page.

Thanks Bob!

Sorry I missed that FAQ. I worked on it today and was able to get the redirect overriden. However, I had to put the new default.php file in the following folder templates/my_template/html/com_users/login instead of templates/my_template/html/com_users/registration. I am not sure if that is unique to my site and template setup, but it works that way and does not work the other way.

I am new to overrides, so if you have any thoughts, please post them. Thanks again!

Hi Erik,

Yes, I didn't think about that; you are correct. The template over-ride folders have to match the component+view they they are to over-ride.
